Colt Single Action Model 1851 Navy Revolver Made in 1853
Description: SALE PENDING. This is a nice example of an early Colt Model 1851 Navy Single Action Percussion Revolver. Serial number is 30,600 which dates it to 1853 Production with the small round trigger guard. Standard 7 1/2" Octagon Barrel in .36 Caliber. 6 Shot Cylinder. Serial numbers are 100% matching which consists of the following parts: frame, barrel, cylinder, trigger guard, backstrap, arbor pin, loading lever, wedge, and grips. See Photos. This one is in NRA Antique Very Good Plus Condition which is remarkable for being 166 years old. Many 51 Navies from the Gold Rush era are not much more than relics. This one still has 95% Cylinder Scene with several safety pins on the back of the cylinder still intact. The trigger guard retains 75% original silver plating with 50% on the backstrap. The gripstraps on Colt Model 1849's and 1851's had much thicker silver plating than 1860's production so this is not surprising. The frame has 70% of what I'd describe as the last stage of visible case color hardening where the colors have faded out to a nickel appearance with the balance worn to grey. The cylinder has aged to a nice smooth patina. The barrel has 10% original which is visible on the bottom 3 flats of the octagon barrel and hints on the lug around the wedge. Loading lever and hammer have turned to dark grey with very slight hints of silvered out case colors. The hammer has some pitting around the front edge of the profiles where it tucks into the recoil shield...which is not uncommon from the fulminate cap residue which was corrosive. Grips are in Fine Plus Condition with 70% original varnish over nice light straight grain American walnut which has not turned dark or been stained with oil. The wood to metal fit is perfect with the last 4 digits of the serial number under the back strap hand-written in black ink by the Colt workman back in 1853. When I pulled the grips, the straps have a nice dark to silver patina with green vertige from the edges of the brass formed on the metal and inside edges of the wood. Totally uncleaned. There is one small chip on the front left edge of the grip...see photo. I am leaving this along but will offer to have this mended free of charge should the customer request it be repaired. Action is in nice working order. Barrel to frame fit is tight although I did not have the wedge fully engaged when the photos were taken so there was a tiny gap at the barrel/frame junction. It is tight. Bore is uncleaned but looks very good with super strong lands and grooves...no rings or bulges. I've seen A LOT of 51 Navies in my lifetime but this is one of the most untouched examples we've seen in a long time; especially for an early one that pre-dates the Civil War. Many of these 1851's were shipped to the Gold Fields out West. When the Civil War began in 1861, there were already over 100,000 Model 1851's in circulation compared to just 4,000 of the new .44 Caliber Model 1860 Armies. The 1851 was a real workhorse in the Civil War in the hands of Confederate and Union soldiers; especially Cavalry units. Robert E. Lee, Commander of the Army of Northern Virginia carried an 1851 Navy presumably from his days as an officer in the US Army. Gunfighter Wild Bill Hickok is said to have carried two .36 Caliber 1851 Navies at all times. This is a great piece of history.
